Against the Scheutzen Verien.

Against the ScheutZen Verien.
1T HAS NO MORE RIGHT THAN OTHER CLUBS 10 SELL
LIQUOR ON SUNDAY.
This morning, in the Police Court, Mr. Jacob J..
Appich, president OF the Washington Scheutzen
verein, was charged by Officer j. B. Slack, with
keeping the bar OF the association open on Sun
day. Mr.. Simon Wolf and Charles Walter, jr, ap-
peared for the defendant, and Mr.. Padgett an
peared for the District.
Officer Slack testified that on Sunday evening he
saw the barrOom in the Scheutzen grounds ODen.
and saw several persons in the saloon.
Officer Flfeld gave similar testimony
Counsel Tor defendant admitted the facts and
claimed that the ScheutZen was q regularly in
cOrpOrated association: that On Sunday the gen.
eral public was not admitted, but that the MEM
bers over 300 in number, were entitled to adniS-
sion, and they could get liquors.
Mr. Walter said The officer had no right to enter
the premises.
Mr.. Wolf said that IA years ago when an officer
missed from the force on the strength OF an Opin-
ion rendered by Attorney General Williams II
the court held that the association had violated
the law the effect might be that the law would be
eyaded by the members each having their own
bottle, and the District would be 500 poorer
Mr.. Padgett said he did not see how CORPORA
ton could be permitted to do what an individual is
not permitted to do.
The judge stated that attempts had been made
TO dispose OF liquor On Sunday by the formation Of
clubs and the issuing OF tickets OF admission. In
such cases the court had held that the law had
been violated, and would have to hold so in this
case. The court gave Judgment against the de-
rendant in the sum OF $40, from which counsel
took an appeal.

PLEA FOR THE CIVIL SERVICE COMMISSIONERS.
In reporting favOrably Mr.. COxs bill to increase
the salaries OF civil service commissioners from
$500 TO s. 600 the House committee on civil ser
vice reform says:
''That the public service has been purified and
elevated by the efforts OF the civil service commits
stOners, aided and sustained by the President,
cannot be successfully denied. That the clerical
service is thereby rendered more and more efficient
Is universally believed to be true. The civil ser
vice law is the great breakwater OF many pOlitt-
GanS who employ 1t as an excuse for failure to Sc
cure positions for friends, and sometimes unjustly
attack the law and those who execute it. AS this
reform has come to stay, it is highly important
that the best talent should be placed at the CON-
mand Of the President in order TO secure the ser
for a reasonable compensation, and not accept the
position merely through the hope OF filling 1t
temporarily as stepping stone to future prefer
ment.'

provided the loss is quite insignificant. StOckmen
heretofore have not been compelled TO feed but
very little hay during the winter, the stock gem

cedented fall OF snow this winter and the length
OF time it has lain on the ground puts new phase
